They will appear on Thursday evening.
* Black Leopards and Dylan Kerr:

They will also appear on Thursday evening.
* Mamelodi Sundowns:
Mamelodi Sundowns have been charged with contravening Rule 16.3.2 of the NSL Handbook after they allegedly fielded an ineligible player, Wayne Arendse, against Wits during their Absa Premiership fixture on 07 October 2018. They will appear on Wednesday.
* Ernst Middendorp:
The long outstanding charges against current Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp (which arose during his tenure of coach of Maritzburg United FC) is postponed to 14 February 2019 due to his current club’s rescheduled fixtures.
The charges arose from acts of alleged misconduct against Middendorp which took place shortly before his departure from Maritzburg United to coach in the Far East early in 2017.
Middendorp is alleged to have made improper statements concerning the acting chief executive of the PSL (Mato Madlala), and the appointment of match referees to Maritzburg United FC matches.
